Banh Mi Hot Dogs

"Banh Mi" is Vietnamese for all kinds of bread.
This hot dog calls for a freshly baked baguette, which mixes the French with the Vietnamese flavors
at the same time.
I sort of came up with this hot dog after seeing Tyler Florence and that food truck TV show he used to host.  There was a Vietnamese food truck that made some sort of banh mi sandwich that looked super good.  Then, I saw Daphne Oz on The Chew make something very similar so I kind of combined the ideas to create this hot dog.  You can customize it however you like.  For example, I love cilantro so that is a definite for my dog but my husband hates cilantro so he does not use it.  

Ingredients:
hot dogs - high quality (I use organic)
fresh french bread (rolls)
scallions diced
cilantro
sriracha
ketchup
mayo
cucumbers sliced length-wise
radishes (daikon if you can find them)
carrots
white wine vinegar
granulated sugar
kosher salt

Slice hot dogs so they are butterflied or cut in half but still connected 
Sear hot dogs in skillet on each side- don't burn
At the same time, peel carrots so they are thin and cut up the radish thinly.
Mix white wine vinegar, sugar and salt and pour over the carrots and radishes to pickle them.
Combine ketchup, srirahcha and mayo together - more ketchup and mayo will make it less spicy.
Cut the cucumber into strips and cut up the cilantro and scallion.
Once the carrots and radish have spent time in the vinegar mixture, drain the liquid.
Once the hot dogs are finished, add everything to your baguette as preferred.
Obviously, if you can add mustard or relish or any other topings you like if something does not appeal to you.
